Ping[edit]

User:Drmies and User:Parkwells: Not sure if you are interested in this. Unfortunately I cannot find her paintings on Commons...Zigzig20s (talk) 17:01, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like you got it all already... Did you see this? That last paragraph is nicely patronizing... Drmies (talk) 17:32, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am citing it, but not the last sentence. It was published by the University of Alabama Press, in 2019...Zigzig20s (talk) 18:33, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Start?[edit]

User:Animalparty: You've assessed WikiProject Women writers as a "start", but it looks like a stub to me...Zigzig20s (talk) 20:34, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't really matter. It's on the subjective cusp. With a few more sentences it's a start. Re-assess if you wish, or expand the article. And in addition, there are some high resolution public domain Weeden illustrations at the New York Public Library Digital Collections --Animalparty! (talk) 20:46, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Will do until it is expanded. Could they be uploaded on Commons?Zigzig20s (talk) 20:57, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Reassessed to start thanks to User:Parkwells's expansion.Zigzig20s (talk) 08:08, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

-Article is newly created; long enough (>500 words), neutral, cited, and with [1], no close paraphrasing or copyvio issues; Hook less than half the length it could be (77!), accurate, sourced, and undoubtedly of general interest. QPQ done; Image is good.
